Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to propose G‑13. Again, it's referring to animal testing. Basically the motion would just amend clause 19 by replacing lines 37 to 41 on page 15 with the following:
the development and timely incorporation of scientifically justified alternative methods and strategies in the testing and assessment of substances to replace, reduce or refine the use of vertebrate animals.
It is just basically making it consistent with what we did earlier, that there's a requirement that the plan of chemicals management priorities address vertebrate animal testing as well. The text of this clause is not consistent with the language used in other provisions in the bill regarding vertebrate animal testing, so the three Rs—the “replace, reduce or refine”. We need to put it in this section as well. It's really just making it consistent to allow that to happen in the end.
